This international field school will bring U.S. and Russian students together at fixed sites in Alaska (Katmai) and Kamchatka (Gorely-Mutnovsky) to study volcanology. The principal investigators are Dr. John Eichelberger from the University of Alaska at Fairbanks and Elena Vesna from Kamchatka State UniversityVolcanoes are among the most exciting and inspiring phenomena on the planet Earth. Understanding volcanoes has become increasingly important as growing population and technical complexity of society make us more vulnerable to natural catastrophe and as we realize the role of volcanism in global climate change. Although volcanology is a small discipline in the context of science, active volcanism provides unparalleled "teaching moments" for elucidating fundamental physical and chemical process. Scientifically, and as natural classrooms, the proposed venues for the field school are of exceptional quality, each providing access to sites and exposures that illustrate a wide gamut of volcanological phenomena.This project in earth sciences research will train students in volcanology and will enhance the development of ties between the next generation of volcanologists. This project also fulfills the program objectives of bringing together leading experts in the U.S. and Central/Eastern Europe to combine complementary efforts and capabilities in areas of strong mutual interest and competence on the basis of equality, reciprocity, and mutuality of benefit.

这所国际野外学校将把美国和俄罗斯学生聚集在阿拉斯加（卡特迈）和堪察加半岛（戈雷利-穆特诺夫斯基）的固定地点学习火山学。主要研究人员是来自阿拉斯加大学费尔班克斯分校的John Eichelberger博士和来自堪察加州立大学的Elena Vesna火山是地球上最令人兴奋和鼓舞人心的现象之一。 随着人口的增长和社会技术的复杂性使我们更容易受到自然灾害的影响，以及我们意识到火山活动在全球气候变化中的作用，了解火山变得越来越重要。 虽然火山学是一个小学科的科学背景下，活火山提供了无与伦比的“教学时刻”阐明基本的物理和化学过程。 作为一个自然的教室，拟建的野外学校的场地质量非常好，每个场地都能提供展示各种火山现象的场地和暴露机会。地球科学研究项目将培养学生的火山学知识，并将加强下一代火山学家之间的联系。 该项目还实现了将美国和中欧/东欧的领先专家聚集在一起的计划目标，在平等，互惠和互利的基础上，在具有强烈共同利益和能力的领域联合收割机互补努力和能力。
